My WIP novel is set in the Scottish Highlands, & this is Glen Coe, which was formed by an ice-age glacier.

If it looks familiar, you might have seen it in films such as Skyfall, Harry Potter, Braveheart, but in reality it's even more stunning 😍

standing in the distance
teased and mystified
observing how you dance
amongst other arteries
triggering mysteries forward
and feeding the soul

The Hard Times: Prison Diaries is finally out (link in bio). It is a book about crime, punishment, rehabilitation, greed, compassion, dignity, personal choice, and putting a newspaper to bed before the editorial team gets locked up for the night. Hope you like it.

Writing prompt #heartfelt #vss365
The heart that matters isn't in your chest. It lives in the butterflies in your gut, the goose flesh on your arms, the knots in your shoulders. It is poetry and passion, the visceral paean of humanity, beating on skin and bones demanding we dance to the rhythm of a hundred million souls before and behind. Heartfelt isn't just a greeting card; it's a revolution.

When to use colons in a sentence
All too often, colons are misused in writing. This punctuation mark is meant to signal readers that what follows is a proof or explanation of what came before it. For example, the following sentenc…

The #WIPSnips word for December 6th is "hook" - from a conversation between Tomrick and the King-in-Timmor's-Skin regarding the generous remuneration of gong farmers at Bronzegate.

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Fanfic #GameofThrones
Tomrick leaned closer so only the king could hear. “But the keep won’t stay sweet-smelling because a lord wishes it so. Someone has to crawl under the walls. Someone has to scrape the shafts clear. Someone has to do it in winter when the shit and piss freeze solid. And there’s the town to think of. They do it well here. My boy doesn’t have to trudge through shit because Timmor pays them well.” Tomrick could see Bran Stark now, the boy who once lived in a castle where other people did the filthy work out of duty alone. Ned Stark had been said to eat honor and shit duty. Duty didn’t fill bellies. Duty didn’t keep men loyal. “And if we paid them less,” Tomrick said. “They’d take their shovels, hooks, and scrapers and go where the coin is better. Then where would we be? Up to our ankles in what no one wants to think about.”

“Who am I?”

Although rarely the only question a #story explores, this is the central question of every story.

Who triad: Doctor, Cindy Lou, and The FULL CAPTION: “Who am I?” Although rarely the only question a story explores, this is the central question of every story. Through every action, inaction & interaction, each character defines & displays who they are, bursting internal & external mythologies to reveal their truth, welcome or not.

I finished an actual, physical book last night for the first time in months. It was Murder at Gulls Nest by Jess Kidd, a quirky, funny-sad mystery. Deciding what to try next to keep busting the slump.
